I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Liang frowned and thought for a while and said, "We only know this bit of information, and it's very difficult to find a solution!"

Pang Tong also nodded and said, "It's not a problem at all in the big man! No one has paid attention to it, so naturally no one has thought about how to solve it!"

Prices have less than doubled, can this be considered an economic problem?Even if 800 people died of starvation, it is still a matter of memorial.

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "It stands to reason that there is no shortage of food and cloth in Dagan. If food and clothing are guaranteed, it is only steel, coal, cement, and timber that have little to do with the people. If Dagan stops all these projects Now, the demand will stop, and the price will naturally drop!"

But Zhuge Liang said: "This is a project worth hundreds of billions of dollars. How can it be stopped immediately? If it is really stopped, the debt alone will be enough to bankrupt the Daqian court! We should find a way to increase revenue. If we can get enough steel , the prices of cement, coal, and timber will not come down.”

"Bankruptcy, a new word created by Lei Gong, should have the same meaning as King Zhou's high debts. After living for so long, this is the first time I know that the court can go bankrupt!" Pang Tong laughed: "I really want to see the big What is it like to go bankrupt in the court!"

Pang Tong's words made Mr. Pang De give Pang Tong a stern look. If such words are spread, he will feel better!
The three of them were stared at by Mr. Pang De, and they didn't dare to speak again.

And the other great Confucians discussed for a long time but did not come up with any good solution, after all, the majors are not suitable for them.

Such a situation made Zhao Qi feel disappointed for a while and said: "No wonder Lei Gong doesn't like my Confucianism. We have already thrown away all the real things, and we can't solve the problem. We can only talk and practice. No wonder Lei Gong looks down on our Confucianism."

Xu Shao said: "Master Zhao, I will look up the books after I go back and maybe I will gain something. The Dagan Kingdom has been passed down for thousands of years, and there will always be a history of similarities. We can also learn from the wisdom of our ancestors!"

In this era, there are also some books that record the economy, such as "Huo Zhi Biography" and "Ping Zhun Shu" written by Sima Qian, and most of the official histories of the past dynasties have "Shi Huo Zhi" and "Guan Zi" and other books.So after these great Confucianists returned home, they began to search for these books,
And after these great Confucians searched for books, they really suggested in the newspapers to build more steel and cement factories to solve this problem!

Or punish profiteers severely so that they dare not come to ask for debts. For these great Confucians, it is a bit too much to slaughter merchants with a warning order like Dong Zhuo, but merchants ask for interest and even dare to collect debts. The current Dagan is still in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it is necessary to build a high platform to hide in debt!
In short, it still has not escaped from the old scope of feudal thought.

And Xu Wei also read these newspapers, and they didn't have much meaning. They were still used to using power to solve economic problems, and Xu Wei was extremely disappointed with their performance.It's not something he wants to see.

To be honest, Xu Wei kept them here because he knew that sparks would come from the collision of ideas. The industrial age is not only the advancement of science and technology, but also a period of great openness of thought. The wisdom of various thinkers exploded in this era.Only then did the most brilliant period of human civilization erupt. It can be said that this period is the most golden age of human civilization. …

The reason why there is such an explosion of thought is that the ideology, morality, and ethics of the industrial age are different from those of the feudal age. If there are such contradictions, everyone must find a way to solve these contradictions in life. If these contradictions cannot be resolved, the country will perish.

Therefore, when machines entered these countries, the contradictions that were not suitable for the feudal system also entered these countries. Only when various ideas collided fiercely did the separation of powers and natural human rights appear. These ideas ignited the entire civilization, and then in these ideas Under the guidance, a set of ideology, ethics, and civilization suitable for the industrial age will be formed.

"These people's thinking is too old, and the three views are already ancient. It seems that I have to wait for the next batch of students to grow up!" Xu Wei said helplessly.

After letting go of the information about great scholars like Zhao Qi, Xu Wei took the new patent report from the Patent Office to read.

Driven by Xu Wei and inspired by Cai Qiao's example, many people also want to get rich overnight by inventing, so there are a lot of folk inventors who have applied for a lot of patents!

And indeed some people have come up with a lot of good things, like some families of blacksmiths, who have come up with alloy formulas or forging techniques that have been researched by their families for dozens of years, which is very beneficial to improve the mechanical level of Daqian. , Breeding technology, planting technology.

Although the big Han is conservative, it has followed the traditions of ancient times. A family has studied a technology in depth (the same is true for Confucianism, and the study of generations has become a family study). This technology passed down from generation to generation is not even worse than modern times. They are rarely made public, and eventually disappeared without a trace with the defeat of the family during the war.

Now these technologies that have been studied for hundreds of years are protected by the patent office, and can be used to expand production and earn more profits.Naturally, many people have used their ancestral skills for money.

But more of them are the kind of deceitful people, get some eight-legged stools, or six-wheeled carriages, etc.!Want to come to the patent office to bluff!Because their patent is approved, they can get a loan of 10 yuan to build a factory. Of course, such a scammer can't open any factory after getting the money, but spend it all by himself, and then find a way to get a new patent and continue to cheat. money.

So Xu Wei took over the right to review patents, and he will review every registered patent, not only to prevent scammers from appearing, but also to discover useful patents.

When Xu Wei thought that he would see a group of strange drawings today, he didn't expect that after reading a few patents, he really saw something good!
"Someone actually made the sewing machine out!" Xu Wei was amazed. These are the three major pieces, and the technical content is not low.Then Xu Wei had a flash of inspiration and said, I thought of a way to consume some of the people's wealth.

The main reason for this kind of inflation is that investment is overheated, and the secondary reason is that a large number of projects make the people rich. They buy daily necessities or build new houses, which raises the price of goods. Because of Xu Wei's agricultural loans, the rural areas that are doing a lot of work now There is no shortage of their own farm tools, so the money in the hands of the people is mainly to improve their lives.The speed at which their demand expanded was too fast, and farm production couldn't keep up with the speed. This caused the prices of their respective agricultural and sideline products to rise. …

But if you get some big agricultural items such as sewing machines, cattle, and horses to go to the countryside, it should consume a lot of money, and these things can also help farmers improve their lives!
Xu Wei did what he said, he ordered people to contact the officials in the desert, and asked them to spend the winter ahead of schedule this year, prepare 100 million cattle and 100 million subdued horses, and try to sell them to the vast villages of the Central Plains. At the same time, he ordered people to find Huang Yueying For their sewing machine factory, a loan of 1000 million will allow them to expand production, and it is best to form a production scale of [-] tai per month.In addition, other industrial products are sent to the vast villages of the Central Plains, absorbing tens of billions of funds, and the inflationary pressure on agricultural and sideline products will naturally drop.

So Zhuge Liang and the others were overjoyed. They just sold a few sewing machines, and they were hit by the big gift package before they made a name for themselves. With 1000 million expanded production, there are still orders for 10 units per month. The workshop instantly became one of the largest factories in Daqian!

At the end of August, Youzhou has completely entered the three-volt period!
A transport ship from Crab Island docked at Quanzhou Wharf, and then boarded a train from Quanzhou to Jidu.

"Sir, is this the train you were talking about?" Cao Ang looked at the speeding train in shock, and the young men who followed him were also shocked. They immediately became big men only a few years ago, how could the current Dagan Kingdom become so big? Let them not know each other.

Guo Jia sighed: "It is because of the rapid changes in Dagan that I suggested to the lord that you should come to Dagan to study abroad. Otherwise, our Crab Island may become a country of savages! Only by studying in Dagan can we keep up." The development of Dagan, apply the technology of Dagan to our crab island!"

Back then, Guo Jia was deeply impressed by what he saw and heard in Jidu. He knew very well that if they were to continue to settle down on Crab Island, they would be beaten so hard that they would not even be able to see their tails. Then they would really become savages. This is something that Guo Jia cannot accept.

So he found Cao Cao and told him what Jidu had seen and heard. At the same time, he suggested that each family send their descendants to study abroad in Dagan to learn the skills of making machinery, because Guo Jia believed that Dagan's limited discoveries depended on machinery.

After Cao Cao learned about the development of Daqian, he agreed with Guo Jia's idea. He called the heads of various families on the island and talked about studying abroad.These family heads also agreed to study abroad.

So there was a group of foreign students like Cao Ang, most of whom were in their teens to twenties, and they were descendants of various families. A total of more than 100 people came to Jidu Mechanical College to study.

At this time the train stopped suddenly, and soon the train came here, and explained to them: "There are a large herd of cattle and horses passing by on the road, and the train will stop on the rails, and it will not run until these cattle and horses have passed by. "

"Road? Cattle and horses?" They found that they knew these words individually, but together they couldn't understand them.

This is not a grassland, how could there be a herd of horses, Malu?A road specially prepared for horses?
The train conductor smiled and said: "This road is prepared for the horses. Every winter, a large number of cattle and horses will enter the interior of the grassland. In order to prevent them from destroying the dealers and also to prevent them from getting lost, the ruling party specially prepared a closed road. A large number of railings are used to surround both sides of the road, so that after the horses enter the road, they will not run to other places, and a large amount of feed is prepared on both sides of the road. Of course, horse-drawn carriages and people can also walk. But because it is for horses, it is called Malu.” …

This is really the case, everyone is surprised!

"Boom boom boom!" The dull thunder began to come slowly, Guo Jia knew it was the sound of galloping horses, and then the sound became louder and louder.

A large group of cows and horses covered the sky and passed the road in front of them. From time to time, herdsmen drove back the horses that wanted to escape!

They waited for a whole stick of incense before the herd of cattle and horses left completely.

Cao Ang and the others were shocked by this scene and were speechless for a long time. They dispatched workers and opened up the sulfur and timber markets. The fiscal revenue of Crab Island increased by more than 10 times. Fuma cattle and iron implements were used for land reclamation and transportation.

But at this time, the total number of cattle and horses on Crab Island is tens of thousands. The herd of cattle and horses I just passed in front of them is tens of thousands. You don’t have many crabs in the whole island. How can they not be surprised?

"What are the big guys doing to bring the horses to the Central Plains?" Cao Ang asked puzzled.

Guo Jia replied: "These cattle and horses are to be sold to ordinary people in Dagan. Every year, millions of large cattle enter the Central Plains and become a help for the people of Dagan to open up wasteland. Let the cattle and horses walk on the road! Daqian has developed so fast, occupying the grassland can be said to be an important reason, it is these cattle and horses that are advancing at a high speed, and now Lei Gong has changed the driving force to the train!"

At this time, Cao Ang and the others finally made sense of Guo Jia to let them study abroad. From the number of cattle and horses, it can be seen that the gap between the two sides is really too big.

Then Cao Ang said: "Our crab island has changed too little. Except for some more fields, it can be said that there is no change. It slowly becomes like another big man, but the real big man can't compare with Dagan, let alone Dagan. We are knockoffs."

Another young student, Kong Cheng, also said: "We must have train and ship technology! Only with trains and ships can our goods be transported to Dagan for sale!"

Of course, some students still worried: "Although Daqian is powerful, he is too harsh on us. We can only learn their skills, and the national policy cannot learn from them."

"But Daqian can achieve today's achievements, I'm afraid it's because of Juntian?" A young student said hesitantly.

When it comes to the topic of Juntian, I can't continue talking today. First of all, they were driven to Crab Island by Dagan in this way. This is the biggest scar in their hearts. I haven't forgotten my life in Dahan.

The second is that Crab Island naturally has no private land, but it is not state-owned, but is owned by clans. All the land is controlled by their families. The land in one's own hands is distributed to some side branches or military personnel, which is a bit back to the enfeoffment system of the Spring and Autumn Period.

After a while of silence, Cao Ang said: "We are here to learn technology, and we don't need to think about other things."
